Mary Anne (Good Bye Norma Jean)

Hi Caleb,
Just wanted to let you know that I have just got around to reading this magnificent and most enjoyable story. Where to start, I just love to whole idea of Jack treating Ethan like a brat because that is exactly what he needed a good kick or should I say paddle to his butt several times for the way he has been acting and not taking care of himself as far as his health goes and Andy as well.

(LOL I suppose you may be right but if you thin about it Ethan wasn't out to do himsef a harm. It happened because of his emotional make up.
As Jack said, he isn't in love any longer with Ethan but he loves him dearly and will not let anything happen to him.)


I think Chris gave Andy the right idea to go an a holiday because he and Ethan definitely needed a break from each other so they could get their priorities together for what they want from each other and Chris was the best brat to go with him to try and help keep him on the straight and narrow.

(I don't know about straight and narrow but Chris would have to face Jack when they got back and that can be a very big influence on behaviour, especially after Holland.)

Loved the way Chris took charge and paddled Andy for taking that drug when he didn't know what it was he was taking.

(I think Chris was as un nerved as Andy by it and there could be repercussions at a later date.)

The part where Damon and Declan showed up at the hotel was indeed a surprise to both Chris and Andy with them thinking they were axe murderers and calling to police, they found out real quick that they were not and that Damon and Declan were exactly who they were.

(Imaginations running wild I think. Ethan and Jack need to vet their movies for a while it seems.)

I bet both of the brats were very happy to be home with Jack and Ethan as well as the tops themselves. I loved the addition of Ben and Erik to the group and Callum telling Erik what he was a top and Ben the brat and it sounds like to me that Ben was indeed a brat and Callum knew exactly what Erik needed to do to get through to Ben and boy for a person not spanked anyone in his life Erik knew exactly what to do and how to handle Adam's paddle with skills.

(Yeah, lol. I think it's hard wired into them. Hopefully there will be more with Erik and Ben in the future.)

Tom and Caleb decided they needed to get away as well and on the way Tom's car went is last miles until it gets to a hospital and back on it's four wheels again and feeling better but I am wondering what happened with them the last I heard of them they were fighting that woman to be let out of the car and got out and they finally got a single and called someone, that's the last I saw of them so I bet in the Epilog Liam was indeed worrying what happened to Caleb. I wonder what Adam finally told him where he was.

(I'm sure they had a lovely holiday once they got to Cornwall. But did Caleb meet any hippies?)

The part where Jack talked Declan into letting Edward be a naughty brat along with Ethan was a surprise to me when he agreed to it and that is another thing Ethan needed to be allowed to play with Edward again, I guess we can say that Edward got lucky this go around and didn't get into trouble for his drinking but Ethan did and I loved it.

(Edward did indeed luck out as you say. He had to know what Ethan was capable of and so did Jack and Declan.)

Thank you for sending this story to me and I can't wait to read more of your amazing stories very soon.

(As soon as I get the next one on the memory stick I will mail it along to you.)
